SAN ANTONIO -- An 18-year-old man died early Friday when he shot himself during a game of Russian roulette, police said.(from KSAT-12)
Police said Albert Delgado and some friends were playing with a gun on the front porch of a home in the 2000 block of North Trinity Street at 3 a.m. when the victim shot himself in the head. He died at the scene.
Delgado's friends told police that he didn't think the gun was loaded but his mother doesn't believe the story.
"There's something suspicious about it," said Rebecca Garza, Delgado's mother. "My son did not shoot himself."
As I've said before, there is nothing cool about Russian Roulette. I've never understood the fascination with this game.

FYI...expect more of these "game" deaths. There's a cell phone "game" of Russian Roulette that kids are playing in classrooms and elsewhere.
Phone displays gun on screen, they hold phone to their heads and pull trigger by hitting a key on the phone.
My daughter told me about it after school when the "gun was passed to her" in class....
I flipped out, discussed the problem with the "game" in re desensitizing people to violence and suicide (esp amongst kids/teens we all know are prolific)
She was devastated as to how devastated I was....so had a long night of snuggles and deep discussion.
Get the word out, that "game" will be causing a rash of Russian Roulette deaths.
Apple just blocked a .99 cent download to their phones called "shaken baby"....baby cried, you shake the phone until it stops/died
this stuff is not "funny"
I agree, it's not funny at all.My heart goes out to his family, even though he passed away a little over a year ago its still fresh for me and i barely knew him. This is a tragedy that could have been prevented. Albert was a great person and the fact that his life and budding music career were cut short by such a stupid game is devastating.Whether they were playing the game or not, guns kill. They aren't toys and this isn't the movies. People need to understand this and we as parents need to teach our children these lessons before it's too late.
